Brief Metaphysical Tangent

In the mid-seventies, a fairly mediocre guitarist named Frank Marino, who played in a band called Mahogany Rush, was reputed to have claimed to have inherited the soul of Jimi Hendrix. It would have been more accurate to say that he temporarily swiped a bit of Neal Schon's attitude, but I digress.

Yesterday at the Fair during the NARN broadcast, Brian "Saint Paul" Ward spent half an hour covering a passing parade - questioning band members, getting Princess Kay to endorse the show, getting soundly pummeled by Goldy Gopher...

...and it occurred to me that while Saint may not have downloaded anyone else's soul, he certainly has swiped a heaping dollop of the late Don Vogel's broadcast mojo.

That was some of the finest broadcasting I have ever seen or heard! Particularly the fight between goldy the gopher and Brian "St Paul" Ward!

I feel priviledged to have been a minor part of broadcasting history!

Would you believe I have Juggernaut on vinyl. We'll have to spin it sometime.

Strom,

That was surreal. Amazing stuff.

Flash,

If I had to bet anyone I know had a Mahogany Rush album, you'd have been it.

OK...how about Montrose?
